On the way back, Shen Rou and Shangguan Yunting passed by a jewelry shop. Thinking of her grandmother who had accompanied her for half a year, she decided to give her a gold bracelet as a gift for the New Year to make her happy.
The two of them dismounted and entered the shop. The shopkeeper greeted them immediately upon seeing them: "Sir, Miss, how much jewelry are you selling?"
Shen Rou looked around and finally set her sights on a gold bracelet. The shopkeeper quickly took it out and handed it to Shen Rou to see.
"Girl, you have a good eye. This is our new style this year."
Shen Rou took the gold bracelet and examined it carefully. The bracelet was engraved with exquisite patterns and sparkled with dazzling light. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this bracelet?"
The shopkeeper held up five fingers and said, "Fifty taels of silver."
Shen Rou was shocked. This price was not cheap.
Shangguan Yunting quickly asked, "Shopkeeper, can you give us a discount if we buy a pair?"
"Are you buying one as a gift?"
"Grandma, you've taken care of us for so long, it's only right that we give her a gift."
"Grandma won't accept it. No merit, no reward."
"She was able to accompany you to Yunzhou when you needed her the most. This kindness is greater than anyone else's. For this reason alone, I have to thank her."
Shen Rou looked at him gratefully, feeling warm in her heart.
Shen Rou also took a fancy to the jade earrings and asked for three pairs, as well as two silver bracelets, which totaled one hundred and forty taels.
Shangguan Yunting paid the banknote to the shopkeeper first.
Shen Rou said embarrassedly: "I bought a gift and you paid for it, how can this be okay? I'll give you a gift!"
"it is good."
"what do you like?"
"I like anything you give me."
Shen Rou took a fancy to a sword tassel made of jade. She spent ten taels of silver to buy it and gave it to Shangguan Yunting.
Shangguan Yunting couldn't help but touch the sword tassel all the way back to the breakfast shop.
Shen Rou looked at him and said, "I'll come over and make noodles right away."
"I'll go back and hang the tassel on the sword."
I went back to the room, entered the space, immediately turned on the computer, and started searching for how to make instant noodles.
She stared at the screen, writing down each step one by one. After finishing all this, she couldn't wait to go to the breakfast shop and prepare to practice step by step.
Arriving at the breakfast shop, Shen Rou tied on an apron and started making instant noodles by hand.
Beat three eggs into the flour, add salt and alkali, stir with both hands to blend the eggs and flour, knead into dough, then gradually add water and flour to form a dough.
Roll the dough into sheets, sprinkle a layer of dry flour on the rolled out surface, stack the surface layer by layer, and cut into noodles.
Bring water to a boil in a pot, add noodles, stir to prevent them from sticking together, remove noodles from the water after they float, drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan until it is 40% hot, add noodles and fry until slightly browned.
She started making the seasoning packet when Grandma and Shangguan Yunting came over, looked at the pile of noodles, and asked curiously, "Xiaorou, what is this?"
"Instant noodles, made for you to eat on the road."
“Eat it directly?”
"Wait until I'm done and I'll teach you how to do it. It's very convenient."
Shangguan Yunting smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay."
"Yun Ting, go get the gold bracelet from my room and let Grandma try it."
"it is good."
"Why did you buy me a gold bracelet? It's such a waste of money. I can't wear it while working."
"The gold bracelet I bought for you was only paid for by Yun Ting."
Shangguan Yunting took out a pair of glittering gold bracelets and put them on grandma's wrists, praising her: "Grandma, they look so beautiful on you."
"I can't accept such an important gift."
"This is Xiaorou's gift to you. You've taken care of us for so long, so it's only right that I buy you a New Year's gift."
"Xiao Rou is my granddaughter. I feel at ease accepting her gifts, but I can't accept gifts from you."
"Grandma, if you don't accept me, you are looking down on me. I will come to bother you again if I am free next year. Just don't find me annoying."
"I'm so happy that you came to see me, how could I find you annoying?"
"Grandma, Yun Ting has already bought it, you can keep it!"
"Okay! You must come to see me next year, and grandma will make delicious food for you."
"I will definitely come."
Grandma was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist from time to time, as if she was afraid of losing it.
"Grandma, please help me knead the dough. We'll have noodles for lunch today."
"Mr. Yun, go home for the New Year."
"I'm going back to the Youzhou military camp to spend the New Year with the soldiers."
"Youzhou is quite far from Yunzhou. It's very cold to travel on horseback in such a cold weather."
"We're used to it."
"Being a soldier must be hard!"
"Grandma, defending our country is full of passion and I don't feel any hardship."
"You are a good child. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."
Shangguan Yunting quickly looked at the busy Shen Rou, with a smile on his face.
"Grandma, marrying the girl I love is the greatest blessing in my life."
Shen Rou and Shangguan Yunting looked at each other. Although there was no verbal communication between the two, they both knew what each other was thinking.
At this time, Shen Xue and Shangguan Rui came back with gifts, and Master Yang and Shen Nan also came back one after another.
Shangguan Rui took out a jade bracelet from the brocade box and said, "Grandma, I bought you a jade bracelet."
"Why don't you buy me a gift today? I already have a pair of gold bracelets on my wrists. I can't accept your gift anymore."
"Who sent it?"
"Xiao Rou and Master Yun each gave me a gold bracelet. If I wear it again, thieves will want it."
"Grandma, I've already bought it. If you don't accept it, I can't return it. It would be a shame to throw it away."
"Take it back and give it to your elders."
Shangguan Rui looked at Shangguan Yunting. The jewelry his grandmother wore were all custom-made by craftsmen specially hired by the palace. She would not look down upon such things.
Shangguan Yunting echoed, "Grandma, this is Yunrui's gift, please accept it!"
"Okay then! Thank you, Master Yunrui."
"Grandma, you're so kind."
Shangguan Rui took out a gold hairpin from the box and handed it to Shen Rou, "Xiao Rou, this is a New Year's gift for you."
"Is there still a share for me?"
"Everyone gets a share."
"Then I'm welcome."
He took out a sword and handed it to Shen Nan, saying, "Xiao Nan, how can a man practice martial arts without a sword? So I chose a sword for you. I hope you will practice hard and grow up to be a man of both civil and military skills."
Shen Nan said happily: "Thank you, Brother Yunrui. I will practice hard and protect grandma and my elder and second sisters when I grow up."
"The only man in our family, come on!"
He handed Master Yang a set of four treasures of the study and said, "Master Yang, thank you for your guidance over the past six months. I have benefited greatly from your instruction."
"Three Emperors..."
Master Yang almost let it slip and quickly said, "This is what I should do."
Shen Xue came back from outside and joined in the busy work. After Shen Rou prepared the seasoning, she started frying and put instant noodles in another pot. Soon a pot of fragrant instant noodles came out of the pot.
Shen Rou served a bowl to each person, and everyone couldn't stop eating.
"Xiao Rou, what kind of noodles are these? They're so delicious! If you add this new item to your breakfast shop, your business will definitely improve."
"Master Yang, I plan to add this instant noodle to my breakfast shop next year."
"Then I'll have a good meal next year..."
"Master Yang, Yun Ting will go to the Youzhou military camp tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Are you going home for the New Year?"
"I will definitely go back to spend the New Year with my family."
"Then I'll make some extra for you to take with you on the road."
"Thank you."
"As long as there is boiling water on the road, you can just soak the instant noodles in it. It is convenient and delicious."
"it is good"
Shen Rou suddenly thought that after she returned home for the New Year, her grandfather and uncle might come over. She looked at Shangguan Yunting and said, "Yunting, don't you know Prince Mu?"
Shangguan Yunting was shocked, thinking Shen Rou knew his identity, "What's the matter?"
"After I go back home for the New Year, my grandfather and his family may come over. I need a letter of recommendation from Prince Mu's mansion to apply for a travel permit. Since you are familiar with Prince Mu, can you help me write a letter of recommendation? I also need to go to the government office to get it stamped."
"Okay, I'll write it in a moment."
Shangguan Yunting wanted to wait until they confirmed their relationship before telling Shen Rou his identity. He was worried that he had deceived Shen Rou and that his identity as King Mu would scare Shen Rou away.
